With the bases loaded Tim Kilburn comes in clutch
Originally I walked into Tim Kilburn's office with some doubts as to what invent help could do for me. My mother and I came to see if they could assist us in getting our products manufactured and presented to trade shows with hopes of garnishing some sales. After meeting with Tim on our last meeting he informed me that I qualified under Invent help's Addendum B which allows me to bring to the table the products for which I already had manufactured. This saved me thousands of dollars of re-investment money that would have gone to repositioning and remanufacturing. Thanks to Tim I can now forgo the manufacturing and step to the plate and go from there. This was 5 star service and in my book a Home Run.
Pros:
- Professional service

Auto Safety Mat
I paid Inventhelp to help me get in touch with a manufactor to build my prototype .But all they did was the research take my money and give me manufactors that have nothing to do with safety. I will not refer any person to them ever again. They won't do anything at all for you.
Loss:
$9900
Cons:
- No safety manufactor
- Way they stole my invention
Reason of review:
Not as described/ advertised
Preferred solution: Full refund

Supportive & Knowledgeable
InventHelp was very supportive through the grueling process of getting your invention patented. Before seeking out their assistance, I had several patents on different inventions, but was only able to get one of the patents approved. I didn’t have enough experience to understand the criteria for patent approval. So that’s where InventHelp steps in. They guided me through the process and were able to get my previously denied patents, approved. I won’t go into specific detail of each invention, because that information is confidential. But I can say that they do what is promised. They have plenty of experience to guide anyone who is ignorant on the topic of patents. Thank you again for all the assistance your entire team provided!
Pros:
- Supportive and knowledgeable they were about patents

Invent Help Review from Boynton Beach, Florida
Juvenal of Boynton Beach, FL After I saw InventHelp's commercial with George Foreman when I was watching TV, I had an idea and I looked for their office. Their rep, Jeff, has been a good person and he’s been helping me and I’m very happy with his work. Any question and any doubt that I got, I just call him and he’s willing to help me and to advise me. This is my first project and I got a few more. I got a very good idea with cars and I wanna go ahead and do that one, but Jeff said we gotta do them one step at a time. Also, I wanna go ahead and finish this project because I wanna add some features to the idea that I got. I talked to Jeff and I told him I wanna make this idea better once we’ve patented it, but he tells me that we should wait a little bit. I’m satisfied and I’m really pleased with InventHelp.

Invent Help Review from Sebring, Florida
Kathiuzka of Sebring, FL On 2015 I started my journey with my invent with the help of Aaron ** (from InventHelp). This company help me to make the first steps on investigations about my invention and tell me about the packages that they have to help me to get my patent and post my invention on different invention fairs. Of course the packages have different prices but the company has affordable payment plans for your convenience. Two year later with their assistance I will get my patent soon. They have an excellent customer service, they always return my calls and try to resolve any issue with respect and consideration. They have an incredible staff.

Invent Help Review from Mount Vernon, Washington
Juliette of Mount Vernon, WA We’ve met face-to-face with Jim and Carol from InventHelp here in the Seattle office and they were brilliant. I first met them the first week of October and with them in sales, I cannot fault their enthusiasm, friendliness and helpfulness. They have been amazing and really good. I've had to get in contact with InventHelp a few times when we were getting our initial paperwork and video done. It seems that they needed to actually speak to somebody and describe the invention to them so they can get the final draft down, the paperwork and video that was needed. I’m very happy with the experience but I don't think they’re following up on things that they were supposed to follow up on, and it seems to be taking a little bit too long. Still, I would tell others to give InventHelp a shot. It's extremely expensive to do it, but if they've got something worthwhile and they're very passionate about their invention, then they should go for it.

Invent Help Review from Harwhich, Massachusetts
David of Harwhich, MA My partner and I did some research then investigated InventHelp and decided to go with them. The rep was a sweetheart to work with. She answered the questions that we had and if she didn't have the answers, she would find them for us. Every time we called her and she was out, she'd call right back too and it's been good. We've had a great experience with InventHelp. It cost more money than I thought it was going to, but we've got everything up and running. It's a window box for cats where they go in and it's like a little condo for them. We've already got the video that they sent us of the cat box and we're waiting on the on the prototype now. We got this guy that's working and the next step is to go to all these trade shows, and I'm excited to get somebody that's interested in it and to go forward. We've been working on this project for a couple of years already and we'd like to really start making some money if we could. But everything seems to work fine with InventHelp and we had no problems. Additionally, we have another invention that we're going to be working on with InventHelp in the near future.

Invent Help Review from Pico Rivera, CA
Xavier of Pico Rivera, CA I've been accessing InventHelp’s website for the last 15 years and my experience with them has been great so far. I submitted my invention in November last year and it has been established and accepted. The draft has been adopted and the information has been sent out to various manufacturers. They gave me an account number to call. They also called me and let me know the process. They sent me a letter on all the processes and how far the processes were gonna take. Toni, my rep, also called all the prospective investors. What's neat about it was when you send your information to the lawyers, they'll tell you more or less if it's going to become looked at, acceptable, and out in the market. If it's not, they tell you. So it's not like you're spending your bills or wasting your money. I took too long to forward my invention. I wish I did it earlier. If my friends ask about InventHelp, I would tell them to do their research and make sure they go to the correct organization. Also, not to go ahead and do it on their own because it takes a lot of time. I tried to go to the patent company and they give you so much information. You also gotta go visiting and see the manufacturer development. It took too much of my time and I don't have that. Also, I'm not a rich man to be able to do that. And that's what InventHelp does. They go ahead and they do all that research for you because they've been at it for the last 30 years.

Invent Help Review from Farmington Hills, Michigan
Edward of Farmington Hills, MI I have very positive experience with InventHelp. When I came up with my tool invention, I was looking for patenting it and marketing. One night, I had seen InventHelp commercial with a cave man working on the stone wheel, and I thought, I give it a try. Next week, I approached closest InventHelp office, talked with their service, and filled out application with one of their packages. I had my prototype made and tested myself, so I knew it would work. I just needed a patent and marketing, and that is exactly what they provided for me. I received my patent after two years, but licensing took much longer, over three years. My patience has been tested to the limits, but trust me, it was all worth it. I successfully obtained licensing agreement with large manufacturing company, and in a year my tool was sold worldwide on Amazon and other websites. It was a great feeling seeing my product selling well. But mostly, I really enjoy reading great reviews of customers and their appreciation for my tool, that works so well for them. For those who write disappointing reviews blaming InventHelp for not being effective, I do not think they are right. It is not up to InventHelp to make decision on licensing individual idea, they just present the products during their shows to the manufacturers, businesses and others. If product is attractive to them, and they see potential, then is more likely to be finalized with the licensing agreement. It is a long and complex process, and there is no guaranty of success. I hope, my simplified success story and experience with InventHelp will help you in better understanding the whole process, and will motivate average inventor in making a right decision. Overall, I think, If you strongly believe in your invention, and if you have plenty of patience, you will succeed.
